Radisson Hotel Group has opened the Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia, its first Radisson Individuals property in Turkey.
The new-build hotel is located in the heart of Sultanahmet, within walking distance of many attractions, including the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapı Palace, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar.
Its 48 rooms feature modern amenities with views onto the gardens or over the Marmara Sea. The hotel’s two restaurants — the Lobby Lounge and the Rooftop Restaurant —serve lunch and dinner, and breakfast respectively.
Yilmaz Yildirimlar, area senior vice president, Central & Eastern Europe, Russia and Turkey at Radisson Hotel Group, said: “Despite all the challenges, Turkey has witnessed a constant growth and remains one of the most popular countries for tourism.
“We are proud to welcome the first Radisson Individuals in Turkey which further diversifies our brand offerings across the market but also demonstrates the recognition of Radisson Hotel Group with an already established presence across Istanbul. With Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia Istanbul, a member of Radisson Individuals, our guests will benefit from a new exclusive offering in the centre of the old town.”
The Radisson Individuals brand was launched last year offering independent hotels and local, regional chains the opportunity to be part of the global Radisson Hotel Group platform while ‘maintaining their own uniqueness and identity’.
The opening of Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia Istanbul introduces a fifth Radisson Hotel Group brand to Turkey and brings the group’s portfolio across the country to over 40 hotels in operation and under development.
